Quick Tips for a Strawberry Banana Smoothie:

- Freeze Bananas – Store overripe bananas in the freezer, and then they are ready to add to any smoothie!
- Prep Ahead – Use the meal prep tips to have it prepared and ready to mix in the morning!
- Adjust the Thickness – Add more or less milk to adjust how thick you want your smoothie.
How do you meal prep your smoothie?
If you want to make your smoothie ahead or prep ahead for the freezer, use a freezer-safe storage bag and add all the fruit ingredients. Label the bag with the date and the liquid ingredients needed, and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, pour the frozen fruits into the blender and add in the liquid.
